Preamble: Whereas this law of driving on your provisional license is blatantly ignored by a majority of teenagers. Disobeying their parents and the law, teenagers go forth with the act of driving there friends that are under the legal age on a provisional. If police don't have a reasonable cause to waste time and pull over a young looking driver who has friends in the car, than they don't have probable cause to pull them over and ask for there license. Teenagers above the age of 16 on a provisional license will be able to drive there friends. But if they have one strike on there license; if they get a speeding ticket, run a stop sign, run a red light, or get any ticket by a police man while driving they will go back to the restriction of driving on a one year provisional license with all the restrictions.
Body:
1) You can get your license at the age of 16, instead of waiting a year to be legal to drive other people in your car under the age of 25, we propose that people should be able to drive other people if they also have there license.
2) Following the first rule, if you get a strike on your license by breaking any traffic law, then you have to go back to your provisional license and wait a year before you can drive people under the age of 25.
3) After holding your license for a year, the law would go back to the normal 3 strikes rather than just 1.
4) By creating these rules, we feel like kids would feel more pressured to drive safely rather then reckless since it would be a privilege to have this law.
Enactment Clause: This bill, if it were to be passed, will become law 91 days after the voting has taken place.
